Das V8 Coupe Quattro

[stinkinrich]

but an i4 20vt is a straight forward swap right?

[dspl1236]

this is what i am thinking....


oh ya plenty of room in here. i5 20vt is waaay better than i4 20vt ..... but a v8 32vt...

^^ that aimed at me?

The 20vT im on about is the one they put in the A4, S3, MK4 Golf etc so still a 4 cyl. And my cabriolet is the 80 B4 chassis to same front end as the coupe, saloon and avants.

Sorry about that, when people talk about 20vt I usually think about the 5 cylinders engine used in the old audis!

I don't think you'll have enough space, imagine that you add a quarter of the length of your engine in the engine bay... Lot of custom work for you to do, at least the older Audis had "a lot" of space in the engine bay...

Dont know how ive missed this! Superb build indeed, looks like you know your way round an Audi for sure!

So looks like you're the guy ill be harassing when I want to fit a 20vT into my '98 Cabriolet, easily done? Currently is a 1.8 20v N/A.

Dude that Raychem shit is the nuts! I love that shit, wiring looks so much better, and flexes/wraps WAYYYY better than nasty ass stock loom.

[dspl1236]

yup...

[dspl1236]

we have local raychem....akron, the rubber city. can even get self sealing inner adhesive heat shrink.

40% done...need more heat shrink. tougher than you think to de-sheeth and custom build a motor harness to be perfectly hidden

yesterday afternoon. much more has been done since. going to head off to pick up some raychem heat shrink to rebuild the engine harness today

Where are you getting raychem from? I feel like that has to be ordered online somewhere so I can't get any to try it out.

grind break for a rewire
